TDnet Route

TDnet is the exchange disclosure rail for listed-company timely disclosure. JPX states that listed companies are required by listing rules to use TDnet for timely disclosure. TDnet public surfaces include Company Announcements Disclosure Service / 適時開示情報閲覧サービス, Listed Company Search / 東証上場会社情報サービス, and paid TDnet database services.

JPX states that TDnet-posted disclosure is made publicly inspectable at the same time as TDnet disclosure and can complete publication measures for insider-trading purposes for material facts and certain tender-offer facts. This connects IPO / listing records to fair disclosure and insider trading controls.

Timing Fields
